Around About

The time in which we are living U not the best of times or
the woi.t of limtm, but it is close to being about the mottt
uncertain, the mont confusing of times. We don't know what
disaster to Bpend the most time worrying about the
possibility of being struck down by a drunken or drugged
driver, the coming of a catastrophic nuclear war or the
predicted loss of the world's oxygen as the rain forests of the
world are depleted.
We are responding to drives for canned food and practical
gifts for the more-than-ever families in need and feel so
alarmed because of the high unemployment rate then we
read that the guru Bhugwan Shree Rajneesh of nearby
Antelope is getting his 24th and 25th Rolls-Royces for his 51st
birthday. Somehow this doesn't make sense.
For years weweretold that smoking chimneys caused air
pollution yet today there may be more smoke rising from
homes than there has been in many years.
Dire predictions of a massive energy shortage caused the
planning and building of the Boardman Coal Plant now it
sits idle much of the time. Also, the unwise decision to build
several "needed" WPPSS plants in Washington State, which
instead of becoming potential money-makers now are costing
each of us plenty each month as we electricity consumers
struggle to pay off the huge debt of many millions of dollars
in cost overruns they accumulated.
Some well-know, reputable economists are telling us the
recession-depression is over, while some others keep
warning us that the economy is not stabilizing yet and that we
are not going to see the end of our economic woes for many
years. Such confusion!
It is reassuring to have Christmas greetings coming in and
going out on schedule. Being remembered and remembering
frienda at least once each year is an established custom
which we hope will never die. Although it is costing more
each year to mail our greetings and to bum colored lights,
the pleasures these things bring to many folks is not
confuting.
Several recent letters from Dorothy and Charlie Heard
from their Peach Island, Milton-Freewater home, have
caught me up with their family affairs. Dorothy asked to
send her a copy of a G-T Christmas column of several years
bark and after a search through stacks of clippings I felt
very lucky to find what she wanted. I am sure it reached her
before the church guild program when she wanted it to be
used. Dorothy sent me some bad news, "Charlie's doctor is
trying to get the right medicine and dosage for his angina, he
really doesn't feel too good any of the time."
Several weeks ago I was told that a former lone resident,
Beulah Lundell, would really appreciate letters from old
friends. Her address is: Gateway Retirement Plaza. 10141 E.
Burnside, Portland, Ore. 97216 Most of us know of other
frienda who are having lonely days and who we might cheer
with letters or holiday cards. There is no better time to get
with letter writing than right now.
Even the weather has been somewhat confusing the
eastern U.S. was unseasonably warm last week, but now it is
almost snowbound. We know that winter doesn't really begin
until next week, Dec. 21, and we certainly hope winter won't
be much colder than these several weeks of late fall have
been here
Last week's public events in Heppner included that lovely
concert by guitarist Jim Greeninger and the annual
Farm -City Banquet which brought outstanding speakers and
saw honors given out to worthy youngsters and adults.
This week is one of the busiest times of the Neighborhood
Center. Everyone connected with this fine organization is
working extra hard to carefully check and assemble the
many boxes they expect to send out to families whose
Christmas would be very bleak without these boxes. I
understand that next week a great deal of special volunteer
help is needed to deliver these boxes.
The crafty ladies who regularly attend Thursday afternoon
sessions will relax at their Christmas Party this Thursday
afternoon to which they invite any who have ever met with
them.
Anna Mae Steagall, entertainment chairman for the
Heppner Senior Mealsite, has arranged a series of delightful
pre-Christmas programs. The first of these was presented by
the beginning band students, fifth and sixth graders from
Heppner Elementary School last week. Every Wednesday
noon at the fairgrounds 4 H annex building, the growing
numbers of seniors gather around tables which are
beautifully decorated by Daisy Collins, and enjoy a delicious
and nutritious meal. Their friendship and fellowship is as
good for their souls as the food is good for their bodies. Any
senior citizen is most welcome.
Save Santa ATrip.
